son, don't mess around

"Three lives?"

When Zhiyuan heard this, she raised her eyes and asked, "When did she owe your Highness three lives?"

His eyes were scorching, as if he wanted to see through Lin Jiangnian.

"That night I had three chances to abandon her and run away, but I was kind-hearted and saved her anyway... Doesn't that mean she owes me three lives?"

Lin Jiang coughed. He spoke too quickly. How come he said this?

After hearing this, Zhiyuan remained silent.

After a long silence, he continued, "What are you going to do, Your Highness?"

"What do you mean?"

"she."

Zhiyuan glanced at him and said softly, "This time, Your Highness faced a life-and-death crisis with her and shared weal and woe with her, never leaving her side... If she wakes up, how will Your Highness treat her?"

"If she can survive, then they can go back to their own homes and find their own mothers, right?"

Lin Jiangnian had just said this when he looked up and met Zhiyuan's cold gaze, as if he realized something.

"Zhiyuan, you don't mean to say...she will rely on me, right?"

Zhiyuan said calmly: "Your Highness is a hero who saved the beauty."

"Does this count?"

"Why doesn't it count?"

Zhiyuan said calmly: "Your Highness saved her this time. If she pledges her love to you, what will you do?"

Lin Jiangnian: "..."

Is there a trap waiting for him here?

"impossible."

Lin Jiangnian immediately denied it: "How could a princess like Princess Xu be willing to sacrifice herself for someone else?"

"What if she wants to?"

"Even if I want to, I can't."

"Is it His Highness who can't do it, or is it her?"

"Yes……"

Lin Jiangnian was about to speak when he looked up at Zhiyuan and realized, "Okay, Zhiyuan did it on purpose, right?"

"You are not listening anymore, and you are trying to trick me into saying something?"

Zhiyuan looked calm and said, "Your Highness has something wrong."

"Why am I a ghost?"

"Then why does Your Highness avoid talking about it?"

"How do you want to talk?"

"Your Highness has not answered my question yet."

Zhiyuan's eyes were gentle, and she asked calmly, "If she pledges her love to Your Highness, what will Your Highness do?"

"Of course I refuse!"

Lin Jiangnian blurted out without even thinking.

Just kidding, there is no way he could get this fatal question wrong.

It was natural that Princess Xu would not pledge herself to him. She was a smart person, and even if she was emotional, she would not do such an irrational thing.

As for Lin Jiangnian, it was even more impossible for him to agree.

However, not accepting a promise of one's body is one thing, but it also doesn't say that there can't be other ways.

For example, Lin Jiangnian was still waiting for her to repay him by riding him like a cow or a horse...

No conflict, no conflict.

Zhiyuan naturally didn't know what Lin Jiangnian was thinking. After hearing His Highness' words, he was silent for a while, and then he said lightly: "I hope Your Highness will remember what I said today and don't regret it."

"No regrets, definitely no regrets."

Lin Jiangnian nodded, as if he had regained some strength, and stretched out his hand to Zhiyuan: "Come, let Your Highness hug you."

Zhiyuan stood still: "Your Highness, your body has not recovered yet, so don't think about messy things."

"What's the mess? I just want to hug you."

"Your Highness should take a good rest."

Zhiyuan naturally didn't listen. She was not an obedient little maid. Lin Jiangnian knew it when they first met, so he was just teasing her and didn't really force her.

There's no use forcing it!
But every time Lin Jiangnian opened his mouth to force him, Zhiyuan would always show some reactions that were different from usual. It was very cute and very contrasting, and Lin Jiangnian enjoyed it.

"Your Highness has woken up. I will go and inform my aunt and the others first."

Zhiyuan spoke softly, stood up and walked towards the door.

As he walked, he thought of something and paused: "Aunt, I'm worried about your injury."

Is his aunt worried about him?

Lin Jiangnian was a little dazed, with an indescribable strange feeling in his heart.

Ever since that incident, my aunt has been deliberately avoiding him. The two of them rarely meet, and their relationship is no longer the same as before.

It was as if there was some barrier between the two of them.

Lin Jiangnian naturally knew that such a gap would be difficult to eliminate.

As for the reason, I know it clearly.

Just as I was thinking about it, footsteps were heard outside the room again, and then a stealthy figure walked into the room.

"you're awake?!"

A surprised voice was heard, and Miss Xu appeared in the room. Seeing Lin Jiangnian sitting beside the bed, she walked quickly towards him.

"When did you wake up? Are you okay? Let me see if you're missing any limbs. Do you feel like you don't have much time left to live..."

Seeing Miss Xu chattering away, Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said unhappily, "Can't you think of me a little better?"

"You wish this prince would die, don't you?"

"Hey, no!"

Xu Lan denied it flatly and said angrily: "You have no conscience. I'm so worried about you, and you still say such things?!"

"Don't you even listen to what you're asking?"

"Don't I care about you?"

Miss Xu was confident and righteous, but soon her eyes turned dark and she was a little scared: "You really scared me to death this time!"

"Do you know how long you were unconscious? Two days, two whole days and two nights!"

"Xiao Zhu was frightened and cried several times!"

Hearing this, Lin Jiangnian suddenly remembered: "Where is Xiaozhu?"

"Still hiding in the room crying!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and asked, "Did you cry?"

"I, didn't!"

Xu Lan snorted coldly: "How could I be the kind of little girl who would cry!"

Although he said this, Xu Lan's tone was somewhat guilty, and then he stepped forward and couldn't help asking: "What's going on?"

"What happened? Why were you assassinated? Tell me quickly!"

Xu Lan was so curious and worried about what was going on, but no one could give her an answer in the past few days.

"What else could it be? He was assassinated again."

"What bad things have you done again?"

Xu Lan opened her eyes slightly and asked, "Who assassinated you?"

"I'm not sure, but it's probably King Xu!"

"Them again?!"

Xu Lan opened her eyes wide, her face full of anger: "Isn't this a bit too much?"

"It's really too much." Lin Jiangnian nodded in agreement.

Over the past year, Lin Jiangnian has experienced many assassination attempts, but basically the shadow of Prince Xu's Mansion was behind them.

Miss Xu cursed Prince Xu's mansion for a while before she remembered something: "Then, why is there another woman?"

"What woman?"

"The woman you brought back with you?"

Xu Lan couldn't help but ask, "Who is she? Why is she with you?"

"A poor woman!"

"Your woman again?!"

"Watch your words. What do you mean by my woman again?"

"Is not it?"

Xu Lan was confident and said with a sullen look, "Don't you have enough women? Didn't you bring her back from your affairs outside?"

"This time he was really bad. He almost lost his life by going out to have affairs with other girls~"

Miss Xu did not hide the contempt on her face at all.

Lin Jiangnian was too lazy to argue with her: "Anything else? If not, get out now. I need to rest."

"You heartless person, I was so worried about you and you chased me away?!"

"You don't have to leave, just come here!"

Lin Jiangnian waved at her. "What?"

Xu Lan subconsciously walked closer and came to the bedside.

"Come here and sit down!"

Lin Jiangnian patted the seat next to him.

Xu Lan didn't understand, but sat down anyway.

As soon as she sat down, she felt a hand landing on her waist with ease. Then, with lightning speed, it moved slowly and skillfully up.

then……

"you……"

Xu Lan's whole body tensed up and her face suddenly turned red.

Extremely ashamed and annoyed.

"what are you doing?!"

"Your wounds haven't healed yet, and you're just messing around?"

"I didn't mess around!"

"Then what are you doing with your hands?!"

“Just touch it!”

"No, you, let me go!"

"Hey, don't struggle, just let me touch you for a while... Do you know that I'm almost dying this time? I'm in pain all over, let me relieve the pain!"

Xu Lan blushed and said angrily, "Can touching me relieve the pain?"

"Of course!"

Lin Jiangnian said as he pinched it: "It can divert attention and relieve body pain."

"I do not believe!"

"When have I ever lied to you?"

"You always lie to me!"

“So not this time.”

"..."

Xu Lan's face flushed, and she was extremely angry at Lin Jiangnian for taking advantage of her.

This guy had been in a coma for two days, and as soon as he woke up he started to touch her... He is truly a pervert.

However, although she was angry, Xu Lan did not stop Lin Jiangnian.

Or maybe there was no strength to stop it.

Her body was unusually sensitive. After Lin Jiangnian found her 'weakness', her whole body went limp and numb, and she curled up into a ball powerlessly.

Her face flushed, she bit her lower lip in shame and anger: "You, you are such a pervert, so filthy!"

"Why didn't you, Miss Xu, tell me when you drugged me?"

"No, stop talking!"

Xu Lan was embarrassed and annoyed, and angrily stopped Lin Jiangnian from speaking any further.

She was now a little too ashamed to face her previous "tough" behavior. Not only did she drug him, but she also failed... It was such a disgrace to her reputation.

"We call this reciprocity!"

Lin Jiangnian said with emotion: "I didn't expect Miss Xu to be so secretive?"

Before, Lin Jiangnian always thought that Miss Xu was a smooth sailing girl and that she was a good friend of his. Later, he personally confirmed it and found that he had misunderstood the matter, which led him to visually observe the actual object.

Miss Xu is used to being restrained in her daily life, which makes her look quite minority visually.

Only after you actually get your hands on it can you verify its authenticity.

"Don't, stop talking..."

Xu Lan blushed, feeling embarrassed and angry: "Stop touching me!"

"Touch it for a while longer."

"That's what you just said."

"Then touch it for a while longer."

"Are you okay? I, I feel a little strange..." Xu Lan's voice trembled slightly.

"What's weird?"

"I, I don't know..."

Xu Lan buried her head in Lin Jiangnian's chest and angrily hit him, but she was powerless: "It's just, it's weird..."

Lin Jiangnian looked down at Xu Lan, whose face was flushed and body was limp. As if he had expected something, he lowered his head to Xu Lan's ear and whispered in amazement: "You can't be..."

"Don't say it!"

Xu Lan was anxious and angry, and hurriedly covered Lin Jiangnian's mouth to stop him from continuing.

Not allowed to speak.

But Lin Jiangnian knew it very well.

"or……"

Lin Jiangnian leaned close to her ear again and whispered something.

Xu Lan's face turned even redder, and her eyes were evasive and flustered: "You, you really are..."

As if thinking of something, Xu Lan bit her lower lip and said angrily, "You are already like this, how can you still do it?"

"Most of it is definitely not working, but some of it is still working!"

Lin Jiangnian glanced at her and said, "Come on, I'll give you a chance to conquer me!"

"I, I don't want to!"

Xu Lan blushed and glanced outside the door subconsciously: "What if someone comes?!"

"Don't worry, no one will come."

Xu Lan refused with a red face, but Lin Jiangnian coaxed her in a gentle voice, step by step, as if he was coaxing a child.

Miss Xu is a soft-hearted person. Although she appears carefree on weekdays, her girlish thoughts are written all over her face and are easy to guess.

After Lin Jiangnian's "coaxing", she fell into the trap in a daze, and subconsciously stretched out her hand and slowly touched somewhere.

But just as he moved, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door.

The sound of footsteps frightened Xu Lan back to her senses, her face pale. She tried to stand up in panic, but her whole body was limp, her legs were even weaker, and she felt something coming out.

She was horrified, and quickly pulled Lin Jiangnian's hand out, then straightened her clothes. But even so, the blush on her face still exposed her condition.

Xu Lan was embarrassed and anxious, her mind went blank.

At this moment, the footsteps outside the door suddenly stopped and there was no movement.

Like it stopped suddenly.

It was also at this time that Xu Lan had a chance to catch his breath.

She took a deep breath, glared at Lin Jiangnian fiercely and resentfully, and stood up quickly.

Although his body was still weak, he managed to stand up, his face flushed, he looked away, stood aside, and pretended nothing had happened.

At this time, the figure outside the room also came to the door.

Push the door and walk in.

The two people in the room looked up at the same time, and a gentle and elegant female figure appeared in their sight.

Jiang Yuxiang.

"Auntie!"

Lin Jiangnian showed a hint of joy.

Jiang Yuxiang, who was originally nervous and had a complicated look in her eyes, was inexplicably flustered when she walked into the room.

But when he saw Lin Jiangnian, who looked pale and weak, his expression suddenly changed.

She walked quickly to the bedside and said, "Boy, are you awake? How do you feel? Are you feeling uncomfortable?"

My aunt's gentle and concerned tone came, with a bit of anxiety and some indescribable emotions.

Lin Jiangnian looked weak and his voice was feeble: "Aunt, I'm fine. I won't die."

"You can't die like this?!"

Hearing Lin Jiangnian's weak tone, Jiang Yuxiang's face immediately changed: "Are you feeling unwell? Why is your face so pale? I'll go call a doctor?!"

"No, no need..."

Lin Jiangnian said weakly: "The doctor has checked me out. I, I just need to rest... Auntie, you don't have to be so nervous!"

"How can I not be nervous?!"

At this moment, Jiang Yuxiang's face was full of concern and a little annoyed.

"If something happens to you, how am I going to explain it to your mother?"

"you really are……"

Jiang Yuxiang didn't know what to say, her eyes were filled with both heartache and complexity.

Xu Lan, who was feeling embarrassed and angry, was stunned when she saw this scene.

no……

This bastard was so energetic just now and took advantage of me, and even tricked me into watching goldfish. But when Aunt Xiang came, he became so weak?
He He……

He is definitely pretending!

Xu Lan was furious when she realized what was happening!! (End of this chapter)
